any explain why its not part of the solar system
2007-12-17 03:53:00 · update #1
B and C
Sirius is the 'Dog Star' in Canis Major. Though it is fairly close, it is far from the outer regions of our solar system!
Our galaxy is called the MILKY WAY, it contains many solar systems (tens of billions).
Halley's comet is part of our solar system in that it visits us every 86 years.
Asteroids are generally between Mars and Jupiter, and so are part of our solar system.

Do you get to ask your test questions on line for others to answer? Why should we be your reference works? I'm pretty sure that somewhere along the line, you received a textbook with the answer to your question in it. Do yourself a favor and read the book, learn to search on line, and possibly, practice thinking, so that when you get a question like this one, you can ask yourself "What is the solar system? What are A, B, C, and D? Does it make sense that all four are part of the solar system? why not? taking out those that could not really be part of the solar system, which ones are left? Does it make sense that those remaining could be /are part of our solar system? "
Learning to think will help you a lot more than asking a bunch of anonymous on-line posters to give you simple letter answers plus explanations that are theirs, not your own.
I am assuming that you have followed the Yahoo answers guildlines and are at least 14, which means that this is something that you should have been able to answer yourself. If you were incapable of answering this yourself, you probably could not have gotten on-line, gotten to this web site, registered as a user, and asked the question.
By the way, all four are part of our solar system. Gaspra and Halley orbit the Sun, Sirius is a satellite radio system broadcasting signals from satellites in geo-synchronous orbit, and Milky Way is a candy bar that I enjoy, found on Earth, a part of the solar system, making the candy bar also a part of the system
The person that asked the question should be more specific. I know of course that should you answer that B and C are parts of the solar system, you'd be called a 'wise-a**" or "smart-alek", but you'd still be correct. Ask the teacher if her home mortgage consisted of a one sentence agreement to pay back the bank? The world revolves around being specific and a lack of specificity almost always leads to confusion, discord, and turmoil.

Sirius is another star, so not part of our solar system (the planets and other bodies orbiting the sun).
The milky way is the galaxy we are in. Again, it doesn't orbit our sun, but our sun is a part of it.
Halley's comet is a part of the solar system, as it orbits the sun.
Same for Asteroid Gaspra

B and C (Sirius and Milky Way)
Sirius is a star- a very big one! Our SOLAR System has only one star- the Sun. If it had two ones, it wouldnt be at the same shape as now- 'course I doubt strongly if it could be existed!!
Sirius is the shiniest star of the Northern sky (after our Sun). It's a white-Blue star in the constellation Canis Major. The stars in the constellations are so far from us that the nearest of them to us is nearly 4.3 light years far from us! So we can't have a nearer star - and in our solar syatem!!
Milky Way is a Galaxy- the galaxy we are in!
When we are in a Galaxy, the Galaxy can't be in us!! (In our Solar system.) Milky way (and also other galaxies) content billions (And even more) of solar systems.
It's logically definite that a galaxy can't be in a solar system.
... unless you meant something else by Milky way, Sirius and Solar System!!

B....Sirius is a star many light years away out of the solar system.....and C.......The milky way is the galaxy that we live in. The solar system is in the milky way,but I don't think it would be correct to say that the milky way is in the solar system.

B.Sirius and C.Milky way
Sirius is the brightest-looking star in the night sky,24 times brighter than the sun.It is also known as Dog star.
The milky way is a large band of stars,having a misty cloud like appearence,extending itself across the sky like a part of a great circle.The sun belongs to this galaxy(Milky way).
Asteroids which are rocky bodies belong to solar system as they orbit the sun mainly between Mars and Jupiter.
Comets are bodies of ice and dust and they revolve around the sun in an elliptical orbit.Hence they belong to solar system.

Halley's Comet actually visits us every 76 years.
